Cybertruck’s Tough Image Shattered: Are Tires Wearing Out Too Fast?

newautopost Views  

Cybertruck Boasts Durability
Chronic Physical Defects
Is Tire Wear the Latest Issue?

Reddit

The Cybertruck, Tesla’s full-size electric pickup truck, was unveiled on November 21, 2019, and after several delays, it officially launched in November 2023. It features impressive performance specs, including a maximum output of 845 horsepower and 18.4 kg.m torque.

Elon Musk has touted the Cybertruck’s durability, even claiming it would be the ideal choice for an apocalyptic scenario. During the initial presentation of the concept, he demonstrated its toughness by striking the stainless steel body with a hammer. However, despite high expectations, the Cybertruck has faced ongoing quality issues similar to those seen with other Tesla models, raising consumer concerns.

Not Just a Tesla Problem
But Ongoing Assembly Issues

Common issues reported by early Cybertruck owners include physical defects, particularly in the assembly of body panels, such as the A-pillar cover. In one notable incident, a customer experienced the A-pillar cover falling off while driving, while others reported losing parts of the rear quarter panel. Alarmingly, these problems have affected multiple customers simultaneously.

Early buyers have faced various issues, including charging problems and unknown error codes appearing on the display. While such issues are not unique to Tesla—many legacy brands also encounter similar challenges—most tend to resolve over time or are quickly addressed. In contrast, Tesla has faced ongoing complaints related to assembly quality, raising concerns about the consistency of its manufacturing processes.

After 6,251 miles, Tires Nearly Worn Out

Recently, a Cybertruck owner made headlines by reporting that his tires were completely worn out after just 6,251 miles (approximately 10,060 km). Interestingly, Tesla recommends tire replacement at 6,250 miles. Adhering to this guideline, the owner brought his Cybertruck in for its first tire change, only to be informed that the tires were nearly worn out.

The tires in question were Goodyear Territory All-Terrain models. The owner noted that he had not subjected the tires to heavy use, yet they showed significant wear, with tread blocks torn across the entire surface. This premature wear raises concerns about the tires’ durability in relation to the vehicle’s performance.

Is There a Performance Issue with the Truck?
When Transmitting Power to the Ground

Local media suggest that while the tires themselves may be a contributing factor, the primary issue likely lies with the Cybertruck’s performance. Weighing nearly 3.5 tons (7,716 pounds) and generating 845 horsepower, the Cybertruck puts significant strain on its tires, which must effectively transmit that power to the ground. This high level of performance can lead to accelerated tire wear.

Interestingly, the Cybertruck is not alone in this predicament. A year ago, Rivian owners reported similar issues, with their tires wearing out after just 6,000 miles. Managing tire longevity on vehicles like the Cybertruck or Rivian R1T often involves a trade-off between performance and tire life. There have even been discussions about switching to Pirelli Scorpion tires, which reportedly improved driving range by approximately 30 miles.
